 California Senate Bill No. 1137
This bill, which was signed by Governor Arnold
Schwarzenegger, would make changes to the
Substance Abuse and Crime Prevention Act of
2000, which is also known as Proposition 36. A key change would authorize courts to
order incarceration for a
specified period in order to enhance
treatment compliance, and in some
circumstances, to order the defendant to
enter a residential drug treatment
program, if available, or be placed in a
county jail for not more than ten days for
detoxification purposes only. The legislation
has been blocked from implementation
following a legal action filed July 12, 2006.
